This important video exposes the trade secrets many temporary teeth in one day centers centers use and the deceptive and incorrect terminology they use into making consumers believe they insert permanent teeth the same day of surgery. They Don’t!

We are one of the few centers in the United States for many to be able to go from surgery to insertion of permanent zirconia teeth in one week and save many customers around $20,000 and months of your valuable time.

Many centers are now converting a PMMA denture either milled or 3D-printed and claiming patients are receiving permanent teeth.

All milled PMMA pucks only have FDA 510 approval for temporary use usually for no longer than 12 months. The ruse they use is by screwing in a temporary restoration, that does not fall out like a denture, temporary suddenly become permanent teeth.

This is the equivalent of a patient went to a dentist with a broken tooth that needed a crown. The dentist prepares the tooth for a crown and patient leaves with a plastic temporary (PMMA) that does not fall out until permanent zirconia ceramic crown will be inserted within a few weeks.

Legally, this is a temporary crown and can only be billed to insurance companies as a temporary restoration.

So some unethical implant centers maybe because they don't have our technology or laboratory that really for many can insert permanent teeth from 24 hours to 7 days after surgery want to make you get the illusion they can too. Actually, in many cases it sounds like these implant centers insert permanent teeth days earlier than we do at D5.

The deception is patients are receiving only temporary teeth and months later in many cases finally receiving permanent teeth that meet American Dental Association standards for correct coding and are using Food & Drug Administration approved materials for permanent teeth.

They claim PMMA can be used as a permanent restoration. However, no milled PMMA in puck form has FDA, 510 clearance for use as a permanent restoration. All PMMA's in the United States only have 510 clearance for use as a temporary or long-term provisional. Usually, with approval no longer than 6-12 months.

Don't get fooled by centers that converting temporary restorations using temporary materials as per the FDA and because they don't fall out like a denture claim you're getting permanent teeth. Many times, patients still wait up to a year to get permanent teeth as defined by the American Dental Association using a ceramic that has FDA approval for permanent use.

Based on our extensive research, and Zirkonzahn's research, we believe we are using the only 2 millable ceramics in puck form that have full FDA approval for use as a permanent ceramic. These two ceramics are nanoceramic and zirconia*.

Don't get fooled by centers trying to claim you'll get permanent teeth on the first or same day when in truth all you're getting many times is a converted denture using only temporary parts. These restorations do not meet the American Dental Association's standards to be called permanent teeth nor are they using a ceramic that has FDA 510 approval as a permanent ceramic.

According to U.S. FDA guidelines, they are only temporary teeth!
